Startling News.

It is reported that the citizens of Fort
Worth have a move on foot to run train
between that city and Dallas, to make
three or four trips per day. There is
already great deal of travel between the
two cities, and it would be much greater
were the facilities for travel better. a
train of the sort suggested would meet a
long felt want and be mutually beneficial
to both points, and at the same time pay
the railroad handsomely. The people of
Dallas should extend their assistance in
the Inauguration of increased facilities
for communication with Fort Worth.

tended from Fort Worth will be home this
morning.
John A. Fry, j. 81. Holcomb and L. n
Frank of Stephenville, Erath county, con-
stituted committee which waited on
President Paddock of the Fort Worth and
Rio Grande road yesterday to see what
the city of Stephenville had to expect in
the way of obtaining the road. The sub
| jeCt was discussed at some length, and a
propositions made by the Stephen
vile representatives to bear part
of the expense of running a
preliminary line from Granbury to Ste
phenv1lle that the company. might see
what fine country the road would pass
through. President Paddock and Chief
Engineer 0. B. Cotton also agreed to ride
over to StephenViIle some day next week.
In conversation with Mr.. Cotton that
gentleman said that by Saturday night
the people of Granbury could easily hear
the whistles of the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande locomotives. He said one and
quarter miles of track had been laid yes
terday. It will take about three weeks
to put up the bridge over the Br6zos.
In his annual report to the stoCkhold-
erS of the AtChison road, President Strong
says: "Before the close of 1887, we
shall have over $500 miles of our own and
auxiliary roads, including the Atlantic
and Pacific and California Southern,
tributary to, but exclusive of the Chicago
line" Commenting on this the Railway
Age observes: GAS the latter line which
is to be completed during the present
year will add 450 miles, it will be seen
that by the end of 1887 the Atchison, To-
peks and Santa Fe system will aggregate
about 1000 miles, which will mske it the
greatest railway system in the world in
point of mileage, with the exception
OF the Pennsylvania system. It may
be added that this ambitious company is
also building a line from st. Louis to
Kansas City, with branch into the south
west, so that it is safe to say that by the
end of the present year 1t will control not
far from 1900 miles of lines already in
sight, not to mention certain other lines
whose purchase or control its manage
ment is contemplating or has
already effected, but of which public
announcement has not yet been made.
The career of this company has been one
Of the marvels Of railway enterprise and
it would be unsafe now to attempt to fix
q limit TO it's expansion or to the ambition
of its Napoleonic president and it's bold
and enterprising directors; but that they
will not rest content until sitting in their
Boston office they control by far the
greatest aggregation of railway lines that
the world has known is very evident.

the DRAMA OF CRIME,

or tragedies in real life. According to the
pl eface, the book contains complete con.
fession by VIM. Kissane. Among Mrs.
Bowman's papers are several interesting
letters. One from General Francis J. Darr,
OF San Francisco bears date of July IL,
1886. General Darr says: II am q native
of Cincinnati and of the old firm Of Gross

his crimes. He was born in Ireland. emf

Another letter is from John Eddy, of Prov

cal company. It bears date of November
20 1886, and in it Mr.. Eddy says: "Kis-

written to Recorder Smith OF New York,
letter which will reach it's destination on
Monday, giving some information about
the case. Col. z. w. Doubleday, of this
city, who was one of the filibuster Walk
er's adjutants in Nicaragua, told reporter
last night he knew kissane when the latter
was commissary Of the expedition. He
says Kissane was a sort OF a desperate,
while it was known that Kissane and
Rogers were identical officers. For some
reason it was suspected that he was the
same man that was mixed up in the Martha

OF Interest to Militia Companies in Ex-
,stence Before May 81.
The following from the Helena Independ-
ent of March 81 should hasten the forna-
tion of one or two Militia companies pro-
jected here:
Adjutant. General Turner, of the Montana
Militia, has just received notification from
the ordnance bureau Of the War Depart
ment that on May 31st there will be issued
to the Territorial Militia. all the arms,
camp equipage and quartermaster's stores
that may be needed for their equipment.
These stores will all be ofstandard quality,
such as are issued to the Regular Army.
and are provided for out OF an annual ap-
preparation for the equipment OF the Mill
tia in the States and Territories.
In view of this announcement there
organising militia companies throughout
the Territories. There are now two well
organized infantry companies in Butte, and
another is in course Of formation. The
cavalry troop at Helena will certainly be
successfully organized, and an infantry
company is being formed at Dillon. The
Irish Americans OF Helena are also agitat-
ing the formation among themselves of a
militia company. and their movement
should shape itself into success as early as
possible. It is understood that the Grant
Guards at Anaconda did not maintain
their organization. but it is possible that
they can be revived. Bozeman, Miles City,
Missoula and probably other towns in the
Territory ought to be able to form COM
panies, with the stimulus afforded by the
recognition and substantial encouragement
given by the Federal Government.
1t is important that as many companies
as possible be formed before May 81, as
uron the size of the militia organization in
the Territory at that time will largely de-
pend the amount of the annual issue of
stores for it's equipment.

n. r. Patents for Lands.

WASHINGTON. April 2.-Upon the applica-

pany for the issue of patents for lands
along the line of the road in Minnesota and
Dakota east of the Missouri River, Gem.
missioner Sparks has reported to the Sec
retary OF the Interior that the portion OF
tho road named was definitely located and
constructed within the time required by
law and accepted by the President as prop
erly constructed, and that no measure for
forfeiture oflands of that part of the line was
pending before Congress at it's adjournment,
and he has been informed by the Chair
man and leading members Of the House Com.
mittee on Public Lands, that no such
measure was proposed or considered by
said committee. The commissioner there.
fore recommends that patents be issued to
the company for the lands along so much
OF the road as lies between q point near
Duluth, Minnesota, and the Missouri river,
in Dakota but states his opinion that no
lands should be patented to- said company
for lands on any other portion of the
road.
